Prosecutors: Man recorded sex assaults of girl

Pedro Rios faces two counts of sexually exploiting a child. The 57-year-old Newark man is due to appear in court Tuesday afternoon.

Authorities executed a search warrant at Rios's home in February, and a forensic review of the computer equipment seized revealed several child porn videos that appeared to be self-produced. They allegedly depict Rios abusing the girl in the rear of a tractor-trailer truck cab.

Law enforcement officers identified a girl who claimed Rios would periodically drive her to his truck in Union County, where they had sex. Rios allegedly threatened to hurt her family if she told anyone.
